The perfect hotel to unwind is the nearby Highgate House. This hotel is a striking country mansion in the picturesque Northamptonshire village of Creaton. Originally a coaching inn, it has evolved over the years into a superb venue for all kinds of events.
Its continued development has been careful to maintain the beauty of the original building, successfully combining 17th century charm with 21st century comfort.
Additions to the main house allow Highgate House to offer over 98 en-suite bedrooms and leisure facilities including an indoor swimming pool, sauna, fitness suite and all-weather tennis court. The historic, family atmosphere is strong throughout the estate, but is perhaps most noticeable in the rooms in and around the main house; each containing centuries of memories almost tangible to those within.
